Klear Vu Corp

Klear Vu was able to build a safety culture and ramp up training initiatives quickly largely because of their strong relationship with their MassMEP advisor, Manny Jerome. A facility hazard assessment was conducted, followed by Safety Kaizens. Safety culture is the set of shared attitudes, beliefs, and practices demonstrated by employees at all levels of the company. A positive safety culture connects everyone in the company around a common goal to measurably reduce near misses and incidents. A strong safety culture will result in decreasing the incident rate while increasing productivity and employee morale. It can make corporations more profitable and increase market share in the long run. There are cost savings for avoiding injuries; a company can’t operate successfully if they don’t have a safe environment. This initiative also increased the leadership team’s confidence when purchasing new equipment, given there was a process to operate it safely.

Klear Vu also engaged with MassMEP in pandemic training that focused on the processes that make up all critical business operations that need to be changed and modified during a pandemic. Klear Vu and MassMEP mapped out those sequences and identified areas of risk and vulnerability to remaining open and viable during a pandemic. The team also developed new strategies, found resources and created a new process to manage and abate the impact from a pandemic. If Klear Vu had been deficient in their pandemic plan, they may have had to shut down.
